I have merged the two entries on John 11. You can find the completed entry of Lord of Life and Death here.
From the page: “Martha and Mary knew the capabilities of Jesus, yet they never asked him to restore their brother to life. That Jesus did so was for a higher purpose: ‘the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory’ (John 1:14, ESV). He turns water into wine, not simply to save a wedding, but that his disciples might see the glory of God, his glory, and believe in him (John 2:11). In what we call the High Priestly Prayer (chapter 17), Jesus prays, ‘And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed’ (John 17:5, ESV). Witnessing this glory is to provide unity among the faithful: ‘The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one’ (John 17:22, ESV). Indeed, the author of the Gospel tells us these things have been written down so that we to may believe.”
